One of the unexpected and lovely things about this fundraiser has been the feedback from people from both NZ and Australia who have been bidding- many people have emailed to mention their "connections" to the painting they have won. From the old truck going to an elderly Dad who had to leave his truck on the farm behind when he moved to a rest home, to the leaves which represented starting a new life to a family who are moving overseas. Thanks for sharing your stories with me :)
